Swanson, Agent GEORGE FRANKLIN LEMLEY The death of Frank Lemley at his home north of town last Friday mom ing, was a shock to his many friends. It was known that he was very sick with pneumonia, but the symptoms were favorable for his recovery up to a few hours before his death. His last illness only lasted nine days. George Franklin Lemley, son of E. M. and Barbara Lemley, was born in Taylor county, Iowa, and came to Missouri with his parents when only a year old. His childhood was passed on the home place 2i miles north of Darlington, and he grew up a bright, intelligent young man. When last we saw him, ten days before his death, he looked the picture of health, and we little dreamed that we would be called upon to chronicle h is death so soon. He was a favorite with his associates and his death has cast a gloom over other homes than his own. Frank was 23 years, 3 months and 23 days old. He leaves a mother and three brothers to mourn bis death. Just three years and one day had elapsed since the death of Frank's sister, Mrs, J. F. Gillespie, till death claimed him as its victim, and another sister, Mrs. Allan Wolford, was stricken by death's remorseless hand in the Intervening years. Tbe remains were followed to the Rouse cemetery by a large number of sorrowing friends and neigh bors,Satur day afternoon, where tbey were cost signed to their final resting place, al ter a -short funeral service conducted by Rev. A. D. Davis. The sympathy of many friends goes out to the bereaved family in their hour o( grief. Other personal items on 4th page. You can pay your taxes at the Bank of Darlington. J. W.

Swanson, Agent GEORGE FRANKLIN LEMLEY The death of Frank Lemley at his home north of town last Friday mom ing, was a shock to his many friends. It was known that he was very sick with pneumonia, but the symptoms were favorable for his recovery up to a few hours before his death. His last illness only lasted nine days. George Franklin Lemley, son of E. M. and Barbara Lemley, was born in Taylor county, Iowa, and came to Missouri with his parents when only a year old. His childhood was passed on the home place 2i miles north of Darlington, and he grew up a bright, intelligent young man. When last we saw him, ten days before his death, he looked the picture of health, and we little dreamed that we would be called upon to chronicle h is death so soon. He was a favorite with his associates and his death has cast a gloom over other homes than his own. Frank was 23 years, 3 months and 23 days old. He leaves a mother and three brothers to mourn bis death. Just three years and one day had elapsed since the death of Frank's sister, Mrs, J. F. Gillespie, till death claimed him as its victim, and another sister, Mrs. Allan Wolford, was stricken by death's remorseless hand in the Intervening years. Tbe remains were followed to the Rouse cemetery by a large number of sorrowing friends and neigh bors,Satur day afternoon, where tbey were cost signed to their final resting place, al ter a -short funeral service conducted by Rev. A. D. Davis. The sympathy of many friends goes out to the bereaved family in their hour o( grief. Other personal items on 4th page. You can pay your taxes at the Bank of Darlington. J. W.
